| Skyediamonds1985 | Herr Engineering Ryan ST-A | Build | 26-Jun-15 22:34 |  | | Views : 4036 | | Using tubular plastic purchased at a local hobby store (only 35 miles from where I live) to cut up the cylinders for the engine. All sizes were from careful use of the retinae supplemented with glass protection (eyeballs), resulted in pretty close tolerances.. |
